Evaluation of an Automatic Mashed Potato Dispenser
Abstract
A commercial mashed potato dispenser was examined and tested to determine its potential application to military serving line operations. The unit conformed to dimensions, power requirements, potato mix and water tank capacities, dispensing rates and range as advertized by the manufacturer. It was noted however that the machine did not have the capacity to dispense continuously more than 22 average size servings. Further, the quality of the dispensed product, although considered acceptable, was not as good as that mixed by conventional means. With some improvements as discussed herein, the unit could be used in small serving lines where convenience is of utmost importance.
